"I started that way at first because the barbarians looked upon our science as a sort of magical sorcery, and it was easiest to get them to accept it on that basis." (III.1.68)

This actually happened all the time in history. Back in the day, people use to fear that cameras would steal their soul when it took a picture. Sure, it seems funny now, but the science behind the camera was way beyond what most people learned at the time. Can you think of any science people still fear today? Why?
